So I started doctoring it up with honey, fresh fruit, chopped walnuts, etc... and then it dawned on me that my Mother had tried a "build your own bowl" trick with Avie's oatmeal one morning, and I could do the same with her yogurt.

Simply place one big bowl of plain yogurt in front of your tot, and put little bowls on the side of granola, fruits, raisins, nuts or whatever you want to top their yogurt with. Then stand back and watch them create their own healthy breakfast or snack.
